Project Information

One aim of the project is to monitor mood regularly to identify real-time predictive factors of self-harm and/or suicidal behaviors among high-risk adolescents (13-18 years).

I’m interested in how mood in this population may change in relation to interpersonal interactions. A subset of the sample (N = 62) was used for this data visualization project. Although we can’t make causal claims about the role of interpersonal interactions on these adolescents’ moods, these plots do help illustrate how spending time with certain people may be particularly beneficial for high-risk adolescents. This may vary on baseline levels of anxiety.

Participants completed periodic EMAs for 1 week. 4 times on weekdays, 7 times on weekends.

“How X do you feel right now?” “Over the last few hours, who have you spent the most time with?”

Answered between a 1-100 scale.

Overall mood may be best after high-risk teens spend time with a partner.

Version 1

This is the default plot generated by very basic ggplot code. For Version 2, I created meaningful labels and titles for the plot, changed the colorscheme to be colorblind friendly, and added error bars to facilitate comparisons of values. I also changed the theme for aesthetic purposes.

That pattern might be especially evident for high-risk teens who experience clinical anxiety.
